Consumer Description

VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN TESTED WITH A DIAGNOSTIC READER THE CODE P0463 CAME UP INDICATING A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THAT MEANT AT LEAST A $600 REPAIR FROM THE NISSAN DEALER FOR WHAT APPARENTLY IS A COMMON MALFUNCTION DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ CONCERNING THIS SUBJECT IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF NISSAN, YET THE COMPANY DISMISSES ANY COMPLAINT AS INVALID. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR PREVIOUS GENERATIONS OF PATHFINDER VEHICLES FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR
